Here at Sao Paulo Brazil, has a public broadcast television station<br>
called TV Cultura, they are running a amazing job of restoration. With two<br>
RCA TR70 fully operational plus a rewind unit, they are digitizing from<br>
Quad 2", 1", Betacam and U-Matic tapes<br>
(mainly Pal-M) to Quicktime mov archives and then to LTO backup tapes, at<br>
total around 130,000 hours of programs, it is an epic job for generations<br>
to come. They "un-retired" some old engineers in order to teach new ones<br>
and does this job. Unfortunately these<br>
old videos are available only by order, not free at web.<br><br>
